36 films you must see in 2015 – 2015 Movie Preview
March’s Must See: In the Heart of the Sea (March 13)
Ron Howard reunites with his “Rush (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD UltraViolet)
Runner-up: Get Hard (March 27)
Darnell Lewis (Kevin Hart) has to help millionaire James King (Will Ferrell) prepare for prison after getting sentenced for a fraud case. This one is either going to be really funny as Ferrell and Hart find an amazing balance of their two comedic skill sets or be one of the worst comedies of the year as they try to one-up each other in absurdity.
Sleeper pick: Cinderella (March 13)
It worked for “Maleficent” so why not Cinderella? This one gets the added bonus of being directed by the brilliant Kenneth Branagh and stars Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett. Lily James plays the title character in this live-action version of the Disney classic complete with fairy godmothers (Helena Bonham Carter) and a dashing prince (Richard Madden, “Game of Thrones: Season 2 [Blu-ray]
This could be the best year ever for big, anticipated movies. I really hope they live up to their hype.
Me too man. It seems like it’s poised to be a major one!
Jeff your list is pretty spot on my friend, 2015 could end up being one hell of a year with ‘Age Of Ultron’ and ‘The Force Awakens’ providing possibly the strongest 1-2 punch in films that we have ever seen in the same year. ’09 with “Avatar” & ‘Transformers 2’, ’12 with “The Avengers” & TDKR and ’13 with ‘Catching Fire’, “Iron Man 3” & “Frozen” are the only years to have at least two films that have grossed over 400 million domestic, in 2015 we should see that with AOU and Star Wars 7.
good work jeff. Hart going to prove you wrong lol. At first i am leery of the wedding ringer, but you know what if the wife wants to go I may brave. Im going to go see get hard. Now I do believe Anchorman 2 and think like a man too were failed projects, but its cool to see these two comic styles in a film. Since no one can ever remake or do a trading places maybe it will catch some of that or just bit for us folks who remember when great comedies were a staple, not an exception. Doesnt have at least 2 more movies this year? Is ride along 2 coming out this year? and I know he going to do something with the rock.
Of course im there with bells on for Avengers. Since I skipped katniss in 2014, I cant wait for the DVD in the spring or summer so I can get ready to close out this series. I still need to watch maze runner. nothing but good things. first quarter stuff. kingsmen is on my list. Also do you need to see taken 2 for taken 3? I just skipped it all way once i heard it was the same daughter who had to save him or some crap.. or should i rent it? Are you doing a list for dvds?
Get Hard should be good as long as they’re reeled in and not just letting Hart and Ferrell run amok. That’s where their films go sideways.
Those two are this year and looks like he’s already got two lined up for 2016 as well.
From the premise it doesn’t sound like you need to see Taken 2 first, but it was fun and quick so I’d recommend watching it all the same.
List for DVDs?
of good movies coming out on dvd in 2016 i guess. or whatever lol. I know one thing im going to be locked in next week for tv. Empire, flash, arrow. ( should be shield but I guess I will watch agent old timey shield agent).. and your favorite.. the fish moony show. that weapon ready for you.
Oh. I’ll be working on that throughout the year for us!
Geesh, I totally forgot Gotham started back up Monday. Not sure why I thought it was later this month.
